Toyota May Bolster Truck Plant With Camrys

Toyota is considering a plan to add production of its strong-selling Camry to its under-utilized pickup, SUV and minivan plant in Princeton, Ind., a supplier source says.
Mike Goss, spokesman for Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, declined to confirm the plan. But he added, "We are looking at a lot of things to balance production."
The Camry, which sold 51,291 units in May, is assembled in Georgetown, Ky., and also at a dedicated assembly line at Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. in Lafayette, Ind.
Falling sales of the Tundra full-sized pickup has cut production at Toyota's two-shift Princeton plant. Built at two U.S. plants, the Tundra declined 31.5 percent in May. Princeton also assembles the Toyota Sienna minivan and the Toyota Sequoia full-sized SUV.
